I've addressed the feedback I got in Zurich.

I think this page is ready to have the {{draft}} tag removed. I believe it now represents our consensus on what MediaWiki core, extensions, and gadgets developers should do to preserve high performance. On May 23, I'd like to move forward with making a tutorial and a poster based on this. So, please edit, speak up, and so on, within the next week.

This looks pretty good overall. I left a couple notes on the talk page.

One of the pain points of this mediawiki.org page (and many others) is that it's a lot of text. I gave some thought to whether visuals (even clip art) would help. Or perhaps futzing with the layout. But it might just be distracting. A poster sounds neat, but the Web version will likely be canonical, so if these types of pages can get a bit of visual love, that'd be cool. Perhaps Heather or one of the other designers could take a look.
